Forever and Always

C H A P T E R 8

Talia's POV:

We had spent about 3 hours in the diner and walking around town before I had gotten a text from Cole telling me that my stuff was ready. We went back to the pharmacy and I quickly ran in and grabbed smiling at Cole as I did just so I didn't seem rude. We only had 2 hours until the rest of the family came round which means I'll be rushing. 

I practically sprinted into the house in order to give myself the most time I possibly could to minimise the stress levels. I jumped into the shower but not before tying my hair back into a rough bun since it wasn't that long ago that I washed my hair. I wrapped myself in a towel and avoided the mirrors at all costs, I don't like seeing the stuff they did to me and when I do it often makes me physically sick. I walk out of my bathroom and into the closet, I feel the presence of another person so I go back into my room and lo and behold Mr Luis uh whatever his last name is was sat there on my bed looking quite comfortable, too comfortable for my liking. "What do you think you're doing in my room" I seemed to startle him as his head whips up to face me. He seemed to be in a daze as he just stared at me, his eyes started to make their way down my body and I suddenly became aware that I was currently in just a towel, nope not today. "My eyes are up here perv."  "You're brothers were getting on my nerves so I came in here."  "So you're going to annoy me instead?" He looked at me with that stupid smug face. "Yes exactly."  "You can stay here but 1. we are watching what I want to watch whether you like it or not and 2. you are not going to distract me or mess up anything while I'm getting ready. Got it?" He just simply nodded but that won't do it for me. "Nope, I only want verbal answers okay." "Yes ma'am," he replied mockingly with a salute. I grabbed my Macbook and put on Shrek because well, it's Shrek do I have to say anything else?

I proceed to walk back into my closet and get into some sweats so I don't get anything on my dress. I then put all the stuff I need and take it to my bed as I perch in the middle next to Lu. I have that feeling that there's going to be at least one self-entitled prick/bitch if not both, there's always at least one in every family. I begin to put on some makeup and I  Lu doesn't do anything but instead watches me intently as I get myself ready as I put down my powder brush he spins me around so I'm facing the backboard of my bed he then proceeds to lay down on my bed and looks at me as if he was expecting something. "What was that for?" I ask him. "I wanted to watch you but my backs hurting me from sitting up but from here I can watch you without breaking my back." I looked at him questionably, "First off do you know how creepy that sounds? Second of all why would you want to watch me?" he stayed quiet for a minute before he spoke, "Because your- I mean because it's satisfying to watch." Strange.. he sounded like he wanted to say something else. Oh well, it's probably just something random, Luis he comes up with some dodgy crap and I've not even known him a week.

After about an hour I had finally finished putting on my face and I walked into my wardrobe I stood looking at all my clothes for a good 5 minutes before I decided to lay on the floor. Lu came in and lay next to me. I think we lay like that for 2 minutes before he decided to speak. "Why are we on the floor." I turned my head to look at him and he was already looking at me. I return my sight to the ceiling, "well I'm on the floor because I can't find piss all to wear but I can't speak for you, why are you on the floor?" "I believe that you should never leave a lady laying on the floor by herself."    "so I'm not the only lady you've been on the floor with, wow LuLu you sure know how to make a girl feel special don't you." he didn't respond, instead he stood up reaching his hand out to help me up, I stood up and watched as he walked over to the part of my wardrobe with skirts he picks out a brown spotted skirt a plain white cropped t-shirt. "Here you go one outfit for dinner with the fam." I took the outfit and started to walk off when I turned around and thanked him with a soft smile. I walked through my room to the bathroom and got changed in there since Luis was in my room and that's just.. no thanks.
